(12-Point Summary of EU Constitution continued)

Part 2

 

9. THE NEW EU'S POWERS TO EXTEND ITS OWN POWERS:


The Constitution would give the EU power to extend its own powers by two
devices which avoid the need for new treaties and having to get these
approved by citizens in constitutional referendums.


Firstly, the Escalator or "passerelle" clause (Art.IV-444) would allow the European Council of Presidents and Prime Ministers to move EU law-making for many policy areas from unanimity to majority voting, as long as they agree unanimously among themselves and no national Parliament objects; and these days governments determined on a course of action can usually get
their way with national parliaments.

 

This provision would allow the
Constitution to be amended and the powers of the EU to be significantly
extended without further treaty ratification.


Secondly, the Flexibility Clause (Art.I-18) provides that if the Constitution
has not given the EU sufficient powers to attain its very wide objectives,
the Council of Ministers "shall adopt the appropriate measures" on the
basis of unanimity.

 

The Constitution replaces an existing Community treaty article which applies only to the internal market, and extends its scope to all policy areas of the new EU, economic policy, monetary policy for the eurozone, civil and criminal law matters, foreign policy, social policy,
industry, culture, education, public health etc.  

 

These two clauses would mean that the Constitution is not a full guide to its own provisions. The EU's powers are not restricted by the explicit terms of the Constitution and would be likely in time to be extended by these two articles.



10. SETTING IN STONE THE EU'S CURRENT UNDEMOCRATIC STRUCTURE:


The Constitution would give all the above powers to the new EU while
setting in stone the EU's current undemocratic structure. The unelected
European Commission would keep the sole right to propose new EU laws (Art.I-26). The European Central Bank would stay politically unaccountable through a commitment by all MEPs, EU officials and national governments "not to seek to influence the ... European Central
Bank"(Art.III-188).

 

With increased use of Qualified Majority Voting in the Council of Ministers, the chances of being out-voted on EU laws and their being imposed on a country regardless of whether its Government,
Parliament and people all oppose them, would increase.



11. MAKING THE EURO CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATORY


Article I-8 provides that "The currency of the Union shall be the euro."
This is so even though at present 13 of the 25 Member States still retain
their national currencies and the Constitution enshrines the legal
opt-outs of Britain and Denmark from the euro (Protocols 13 and 14). 

 

The non-euro countries are regarded as "Member States with derogation". This includes Sweden, which is legally committed to adopting the euro even though its citizens voted by referendum to retain the Swedish crown as their national currency by 56% to 42% in 2003.

 

The Accession Treaties of the 10 new EU Members commit them to adopting the euro. By ratifying the Constitution
all EU States would accept an implicit obligation to do this in time, regardless of the legal opt-outs of the UK and Denmark. 

 

The Protocol on the Euro-Group, which is a full part of the Constitution, legally binding on all and signed up to by the 25 Governments, refers to special
arrangements among the eurozone countries "pending the euro becoming the currency of all Member States of the Union". 

 

Articles III-198 to 202 deal
with the transition to the euro for the 23 Member States with a derogation.

For example they are required to treat their exchange rate as "a matter of
common interest" and the Commission will periodically report on their
progress in moving towards adopting the euro.



12. AN IDEOLOGICAL CONSTITUTION:


The Constitution of any normal State lays down the rules and institutional
framework for making laws, but it leaves the ideological content of those
laws to political debate between parties of the Left, Right and Centre.

The EU Constitution is different in that while it lays down decision-making
rules, it also lays down an economic ideology, which those rules must
implement.


This is economic neo-liberalism mixed with the corporatist traditions of
Big States like Germany and France, whose population size would give them
disproportionate influence on EU law-making under the new voting system
proposed in the Constitution.

 

Article III-185 makes the deflationary
economic policy of the European Central Bank constitutionally mandatory
and has contributed to the high unemployment levels of the continental
eurozone economies.

 

Article III-166 would permit the EU to decide by majority vote
what counts as a public service, which could affect health, education and
cultural services, as the Constitution makes "liberalisation" of services
constitutionally mandatory (Art.III-147).

 

Article III-156 provides that
there shall be no control on the movement of capital either within the
Union or between the Union and the rest of the world, although such
controls may be called for on occasion to serve the public interest.

 

The Stability and Growth Pact, which imposes rules on national budgets, has
been regularly flouted by the Big States but has led to smaller States like
Portugal and Ireland being censured (Art.III-194).


POSITIVE THINGS IN THE CONSTITUTION:


One positive change is that the Council of Ministers must meet in public
when deliberating and voting on draft EU laws, but the negotiating and
bargaining leading up to the laws would still be in private (Art.I-24).

 

A second change is that national Parliaments must be told of new laws the
Commission proposes. If one-third of the 25 Parliaments think these laws
go too far, they can object. The Commission must then review its proposal,
but

can still decide to go ahead with it (Protocol No.2 on Subsidiarity).

 

As David Heathcoat-Amory MP, one of the two House of Commons representatives on the Convention, said of this provision: "This is not new; we can object already. It is certainly not a power, as we can object all we like, and
the Commission can go on ignoring us. All that we get in this Constitution is
a new right to be ignored." 

 

A third change is that one million EU citizens could petition the Commission to propose a new EU law to the Council of Ministers, but neither the Commission nor Council need accede to such a
petition (Art.I-47).

 

A fourth change is that the Constitution would permit a Member State to withdraw from the new Union, a provision that has featured in other Federal Constitutions, although the arrangements for doing so here would tend to discourage withdrawals (Art.I-60).

 

These are positive proposals, but they could all be introduced without setting up a new European Union in the form of a Federal European State, as described in
Point 1 above.


THE ALTERNATIVE TO THE CONSTITUTION


Far from being a "tidying-up exercise" of existing treaties and powers, as
governments claim, this constitutional proposal adds up to a fundamental
change in the nature of the EU.


In this new Union in Federal constitutional form, the Member States would substantially lose their national independence and democracy and would find themselves reduced to provincial or regional status.


If the proposed Constitution is rejected, the EU will continue on the
basis of the Treaty of Nice, with the voting arrangements that treaty laid down
for a EU of 27 States.  The Convention that drafted the Constitution failed to do the job it was set up to do by the Laeken Declaration.

 

By saying No to this EU Constitution citizens can force a proper debate on the kind of Europe that people really want - a more democratic EU, and the restoration of powers from Brussels to the Member States, as was mooted in the Laeken Declaration that established the Convention. 

 

The Convention on the Future of Europe should be recalled, put on a more democratic basis and told to make proposals for a EU of this kind.

 

That would be a Europe with
National Parliaments and citizens in the lead, not the tiny but powerful political and bureaucratic elites who are pushing this Constitution at national and supranational levels because it gives them personally more power.


ABOLISHING SOME 60 MORE NATIONAL VETOES


There are some 60 articles in the proposed Constitution that would
either give the EU new powers to make laws and take decisions by qualified
majority voting (QMV), or would abolish a veto Member States currently have over EU laws in particular policy areas by moving from unanimity to
majority vote. 

 

Each veto lost increases the powers of the 25-member Council of Ministers in their capacity as EU legislators and decision-makers, as well as the powers of the non-elected Commission by extending its monopoly in proposing supranational legislation.

 

This abolition of 60 further national vetoes would be a more extensive transfer of new powers to the EU than the 35 areas in which national Parliaments and citizens lost their right to legislate under the 2003 Treaty of Nice, or the 19 areas lost under the 1998 Treaty of Amsterdam.

 

EU Governments should be urged to publish a detailed White Paper listing and describing these fully.


The following are 49 of the more important vetoes lost. There are some 15
other less important ones. The numbers of the existing Union Treaty (TEU)
or Community Treaty (TEC) Articles, which the proposed changes refer to, are
given in brackets where relevant.

1. DELEGATING LAW-MAKING POWERS TO THE COMMISSION to issue regulations for implementing "non-essential elements" of EU legislation (Art.1-36). The Council decides what is essential and non-essential.



2. THE ESCALATOR OR "PASSERELLE CLAUSE" whereby all Part III provision of the Treaty-cum-Constitution that require unanimity may be switched to qualified majority vote by unanimous agreement of the European Council of Presidents and Prime Ministers, as long as a national Parliament does not object and the European Parliament agrees - military and defence matters excepted (Art.IV-444).



3. ELECTING THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL of Presidents and Prime Ministers, effectively the EU Head of State, for up to five years by qualified majority vote (Art.I-22).

>

11. ESTABLISHING MILITARY SUB-GROUPS empowered to make special military arrangements among themselves, establish EU "battle-groups" and undertake military missions abroad "in accordance with the principle of a single set of forces" without involving other EU members (Protocol No.23, recitals); to be known as "permanent structured cooperation"(Art.III-312).



12. IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES UNDER THE TERRORISM AND DISASTER SOLIDARITY
CLAUSE  (Art.I-43), including terrorist prevention but excluding measures
with defence implications, which require unanimity (Art.III-329).

STATES' IMPLEMENTATION OF UNION POLICIES IN THE AREA OF FREEDOM, SECURITY AND
JUSTICE   (Art.III-260).

CROSS-BORDER DIMENSION, for which EU laws may lay down minimum rules

17. MEASURES TO STRENGTHEN THE COORDINATION AND SURVEILLANCE OF BUDGETARY

GUIDELINES FOR THEM. Euro-currency members would have no veto and non-euro
members would not have a vote (Art.III-194).



18. DECIDING ON UNIFIED REPRESENTATION FOR EUROZONE MEMBERS IN
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL BODIES AND CONFERENCES (Art.III-196; some overlap
with ex-Art.111TEC).



19. APPOINTING A PRESIDENT OF THE EUROZONE FINANCE MINISTERS FOR TWO AND A
HALF YEARS "pending the euro becoming the currency of all Member States of the Union"(Protocol No.12).



20. PUBLIC HEALTH INCENTIVE MEASURES: European laws may be made by majority vote "to establish incentive measures designed to protect and improve
public health and in particular to combat the major cross-border health
scourges, as well as measures which have as their direct objective the

23. TOURISM: EU laws to complement action by the Member States to promote
the competitiveness of Union undertakings in the tourism sector, encourage a favourable environment for their development, and promote exchanges of good practice between Member States (Art.III-281).


24. SPORT:  A new policy area is given to the EU here, in addition to
"Education, Youth and Vocational Training" where incentive measures may already be adopted by QMV (Art.III-282): "The Union shall contribute to the promotion of European sporting issues, while taking account of the specific nature of sport, its structures based on voluntary activity and its social
and educational function." 

 

EU laws "shall establish incentive measures, excluding any harmonisation of the laws and regulations of the Member States."

 

The 25-Member Council shall also adopt recommendations.   "Union action shall be aimed at S developing the European dimension in sport, by promoting fairness and openness in sporting competitions and cooperation
between bodies responsible for sports, and by protecting the physical and
moral integrity of sportsmen and sportswomen, especially young sportsmen and sportswomen."



25. CIVIL PROTECTION:” Union action shall aim to support and complement Member States' action at national, regional and local level in risk
preventions" and promote operational cooperation within the Union between
national civil-protection services.

 

EU laws in this area could allow EU
powers to spill over and affect national emergency services more
generally (Art.III-284).

28. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNION (Art.I-60): The Union's terms for the withdrawal agreement would be negotiated by majority vote among the remaining members, with the withdrawing State excluded.

* * * EXISTING POLICY AREAS

 

WHERE THE CONSTITUTION WOULD REPLACE
UNANIMITY
BY MAJORITY VOTE FOR MAKING EUROPEAN LAWS   * * *





29. DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROTECTION FOR EU CITIZENS (Arts.I-10 and
III-127; ex-Art.20TEC).



30. DEFINITION OF PUBLIC SERVICES, known as "services of general economic interest”, where majority voting could decide what counts as a public service and the boundaries between public and private elements therein
(Art.III-122; ex-Art.16TEC). See also Articles III-147 and 148 on
liberalisation of services.



31. TRADE AGREEMENTS IN SERVICES AND THE COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY under the Common Commercial Policy, including agreements covering social, health and education services, unless Member States can prove that such agreements would "risk seriously disturbing the national organisation of such services and prejudicing the responsibility of Member States to deliver them" (Arts.III-315; ex-Art.133TEC).

 

Trade agreements in cultural and audiovisual services become subject to QMV unless they "risk prejudicing the Union's cultural and linguistic diversity".

 

Article III-315 opens the way for the EU to use trade agreements in services to pressurise less developed countries to abolish national controls on foreign investment as well as on their health, education and cultural services, and encourage privatisation of the latter in such countries.



32. SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS, which could spill over in ECJ case law and affect social security systems generally (Art.III-136; ex-Art.42TEC).



33. RULES FOR EXERCISING THE IMPLEMENTING POWERS OF THE COMMISSION (Art.I-37; ex-Arts.10 and 202TEC).



34. LAW ON SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND MUTUAL RECOGNITION OF
QUALIFICATIONS, something that could also spill over and affect wider
employment law (Art.III-141; ex-Art.47TEC).



35. IMPLEMENTING MEASURES FOR THE EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA, which is designed to coordinate scientific research in the EU (Art.III-251.4; ex-Art.166TEC).



36. JUDICIAL COOPERATION IN CRIMINAL MATTERS: EU laws to govern mutual recognition of judgements and judicial decisions relating to cross-border crime, and the approximation of laws and regulations of Member States
relating to police and judicial matters with a cross-border dimension, including rules on the admissibility of evidence, the rights of individuals in criminal procedure and the rights of victims of
crime (Art.III-270; ex-Art.31TEU).



37. EU LAWS INCREASING THE POWERS OF EUROJUST, which links Member State prosecuting authorities, including the initiation of criminal investigations, proposing the initiation of prosecutions and the coordination of such investigations and
prosecutions (Art.III-273; ex-Art.31TEU).



38. EU LAWS TO ENHANCE CROSS-NATIONAL POLICE COOPERATION, including "the
collection, storage, processing, analysis and exchange of relevant information", and supporting staff training and exchanges etc. (Art.III-275; ex-Art.30TEU).



39. EU LAWS TO DETERMINE EUROPOL'S STRUCTURE, OPERATION, FIELD OF ACTION
AND TASKS, including the collection and processing of information and "the
coordination, organisation and implementation of investigative and
operational action carried out jointly with the Member States' competent
authorities or in the context of joint investigative teams"(Art.III-276; ex-Art.30TEU).



40. COMBATING FINANCIAL FRAUD AGAINST THE
UNION (Art.III-415; ex-Art.280TEC):
The Constitution proposes to expand the scope of European laws in this area, which is already decided by QMV, to cover relevant national criminal law by deleting the phrase in the present treaty that measures against fraud "shall not concern the application of national criminal law or the national administration of justice".



41. BORDER CONTROLS (Arts.III-265 and 268;ex-Art.62TEC);



42. COMMON ASYLUM POLICY (Art.III-266 and 268;ex-Arts.63-64TEC);



43. COMMON IMMIGRATION POLICY (Arts.III-267 and 268;ex-Art.63 TEC);



44. CULTURE: majority voting to replace unanimity for incentive measures
on many aspects of cultural policy, excluding any harmonisation of the laws
and regulations of Member States. "Action by the Union shall be aimed at
encouraging cooperation between Member States and, if necessary,
supporting and complementing their action in the following areas:

 

(a) Improvement in the knowledge and dissemination of the culture and history of the European peoples;

 

(b) Conservation and safeguarding of cultural heritage of European significance;

(c) Non-commercial cultural exchanges;

 

(d) Artistic and literary creation, including in the audiovisual sector"(Art.III-280; ex-Art.151TEC).



45. CHANGES TO VARIOUS POWERS OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK relating to
open market and credit operations, setting minimum reserve requirements, fining financial institutions, conducting foreign exchange operations and regulating bank clearance systems.

 

The changes give the Commission the right to propose that they be made by QMV, whereas previously only the Bank itself could propose that (Art.III-187.3; Protocol No.4; ex-Art.107TEC).



46. APPOINTING THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL
BANK (Art.III-382; ex-Art.112TEC). This important group, consisting of the
President, Vice-President and four others, runs the day-to-day operations
of the Bank.

 

The Constitution substitutes appointment by majority vote for appointment "by common accord" of the EU Presidents and Prime Ministers.



47. AMENDING THE STATUTE OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF
JUSTICE (Art.III-381; ex-Art.245 TEC).



48. ADVISORY PANEL FOR CHOOSING CANDIDATES FOR JUDGES AND
ADVOCATES-GENERAL OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE, the operating rules for which would be laid down
by majority vote, which could mean less say by Member States over how ECJ
judges are chosen (Art.III-357; ex-Art.223 TEC).



49. IMPLEMENTING MEASURES FOR THE UNION'S OWN RESOURCES SYSTEM (Art.I-54;
ex-Art.269TEC).


End ... February 2005

With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were given

DUAL CITIZENSHIP

-both

EUROPEAN and BRITISH

The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.

The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with

BRITISH DOCUMENTATION

-only such as British  (not EU) passports, driving licences and other national documents.

Will HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM BECOMING A PROVINCE OF EUROPE. OR WILL THE QUEEN MAKE IT PLAIN THAT OUR FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATE IS SACROSANCT BUT THAT IF THE PEOPLE WISH TO BECOME SLAVES -THEN A REFERENDUM THERE MUST BE. WE BELIEVE THAT NO ENGLISHMAN SHOULD BE ASKED WHETHER HE WISHES TO BE A SLAVE OR FREE!   THIS CHRISTMAS WE WILL FIND OUT IF OUR PROTECTOR OF THE 'Rights and Liberties' of Englishmen Will keep by HER SACRED OATH or the MONARCHY be nothing more than a  THEME PARK in the future THIS IS THE TIME FOR BLUNT SPEAKING AS THE VERY EXISTENCE OF OUR UNIQUE NATION STATE IS IN DIRE PERIL. We are told on the BBC  (Brussels Broadcasting Service) at 11.30 pm on Saturday the 23rd December, 2007, that the QUEEN now has a website which has footage of the Royal Family in the past and that the QUEEN is NOT 'Stuck in the past' Well! as far as many patriotic subjects are concerned we need to remain in the PAST when it concerns the protection of  our FREEDOM and COUNTRY.   Change we have had and will continue to have but it must not threaten our very WAY-OF-LIFE our Common Law of England and all which makes our country the most unique parliamentary democracy in the world. THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER!   Should the Monarch fail to protect our inherited RIGHTS and Liberties then we shall have to fight for a REPUBLIC  as happened in the 17th century because the Monarch of the day ignored those very 'Rights and Liberties of Englishmen' which will still survive in the English Speaking World today in December 2007. How can the MOTHER of PARLIAMENTS give away what is already our and our children's  INHERITANCE which cannot be taken away by PARLIAMENT or the QUEEN.   If the above publicity exercise is to be used to soften the impact to the population of the BETRAYAL of their CONSTITUTION and COUNTRY then it would be the greatest TREASON by a Monarch since James II who sold our COUNTRY to the FRENCH for MONEY and RELIGION. WE ASK WHAT PRICE ARE OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES WORTH? THEY ARE PRICELESS! * A BETRAYAL OF OUR NATION –CONSPIRATORS NAMED *   The Choice is Yours!-but time is running out FAST! 6 months to be EXACT! *   THE EU   WE-AND THEM!   WE are to join THEM THEY are not joining US WE have more to LOSE THEY have more to GAIN WE have been clear of dictators from EUROPE for most of our HISTORY THEY have been cursed with that abomination for most of their HISTORY and NOW! * Our Queen and the EU Constitution * The Spirit of England by Winston Churchill * THE ENEMY IS EVERYWHERE * MESSAGE TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH THE II * We now learn from the Daily Mail COMMENT on Christmas Eve that the Queen's Speech will cover the catastrophic fall in Values and Moral behaviour since the beginning of her 56 -year reign. This has been brought about by the actions of HER MINISTERS and the greater number of those in HER PARLIAMENT who have placed THEIR CONCERNS before the INTERESTS of THE PEOPLE and NATION STATE.    As for the fact that HER PEOPLE feel LOST that has been the direct result of the actions of HER SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS and the TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS including PRIME MINISTERS who have stealthily over the 56 years of HER MAJESTY'S REIGN have almost achieved their aim of ENSLAVING the PEOPLE to a FOREIGN POWER.  The reason for the marked drop in the number viewing THE QUEEN'S SPEECH is no doubt because the mass of people have realised years ago that the MONARCH is powerless to PROTECT their WAY-OF-LIFE and events up to now have PROVED THEM CORRECT. There is a well know saying 'Nero fiddled while Rome burned' Is it the case on Christmas Day 2007 while the  Monarch talks  our Rights and Liberties are being taken from us under our very  noses? Of course the QUEEN under HER CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE can only 'Advise and Warn' HER MINISTERS but when the matter concerns the very LIFE of an INDEPENDENT STATE we expect that HER MAJESTY consider the arrangement to be AT AN END as it would make a MOCKERY of the PRIME IMPORTANCE of the MONARCH to protect our inherited Rights and Liberties which HER MINISTERS  are endeavouring TO GIVE AWAY. We as loyal subjects of the MONARCH who is the living embodiment of OUR RIGHTS and LIBERTIES  ask at this late stage with only months to the eradication of a FREE NATION STATE some veiled comments that HER MAJESTY will PROTECT our RIGHTS and LIBERTIES. As for the MORAL tone of the NATION STATE at this most crucial time in ENGLISH CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY this matter should be left to CHURCH LEADERS who's responsibility it is to CARE for their FLOCKS particularly at this FESTIVAL of CHRISTMAS. IF HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH has not been pre-recorded  we ask HER MAJESTY to give those MILLIONS of HER subjects some hope that their PROTECTOR has NOT FORGOTTEN THEM. Should this APPEAL not be answered we can at last confirm that the MONARCHY is after all nothing more than a talking shop suitable for YouTube and therefore nothing more than a THEME PARK * Hear Tony Benn's comments about the despotic and corrupt EUROPEAN UNION and the need for a REFERENDUM http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=o0I-ZdvQz1o From a politician with INTEGRITY and love of country who has for decades witnessed the growth of the monstrous creature soon to be a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE. *   Liberties of Parliament- Birthright of Subjects of England. *   [All words/word underlined  have a separate bulletin]

 

 

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO ALL OUR VIEWERS.   WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2008 [Since our Xmas message to you all last year we find that our sentiments remain the same with the added emphasise on the coming danger to YOUR COUNTRY from those many traitors in YOUR HOUSE of COMMONS who intend to sell YOUR COUNTRY to a FOREIGN POWER] We Remember The Year 2006   The Spirit of England-Winston Churchill-1953 [We were warned in 1953 to beware of wreckers of our Constitution and Way-of- Life but it had taken Tony Blair just 10 years to do just THAT while everyone had their minds they thought on more important matters. Well! in 2007 his predessessor Gordon Brown is leading you to SLAVERY and only awaits the final signature of the present holder of the House of Wessex the over 1000 year  PROTECTOR of our inherited RIGHTS and LIBERTIES of ENGLISHMEN HER MAJESTY-THE QUEEN Of the House of Wessex since King Alfred 'the Shepherd and Darling of England' in the annals of 893 -897 'We still leave it to the work of Alfred the Great  that England was saved to become the first individual nation -state which over 1100 years later a member of that same House of Wessex has already signed away much of those ancient Rights and Liberties and fundamentals of justice and Rule of Law and only awaits a final signature to enslave her people into a despotic undemocratic godless police state to call itself a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE It is within the power of Her Majesty the Queen to refuse to ratify the New EU TREATY because whatever lies her ministers have given her over her long reign the TRUTH is now clear for ALL TO SEE. In the Netherlands a number of years ago their MONARCH resigned for a day rather than sign the Bill put before him. The New EU TREATY is the death of a NATION STATE of over 1200 years in the making. It is the treasonable actions of HER MINISTERS which has placed THE QUEEN in the forefront in the protection of the Rights and Liberties of HER SUBJECTS as on no one else can HER PEOPLE DEPEND.
